* Serve hot and Gü-zzle...*

Advantages: gorgeous chocolate, warm and tasty, comes with ramekins, usually on offer.
Disadvantages: expensive if not on offer, loads of calories, more-ish!

...to chocolate melting puds and have found their own niche in the chocolate pudding market. One of their first products ever marketed was the Hot Chocolate soufflé, and ironically enough this is my first ever taste of a Gü product. I hope it lives up to the expectations! ** Price & Packaging ** I have previously seen the classic Gü products on the shelves in my local supermarket and have always thought they look very elegant and luxurious. Definitely the type that you would want in your shopping basket. The boxes are usually black and silver in colour. With the classic which Gü logo. However, the box I have is a limited edition pack and is bright pink and white. Why? Well those lovely people at Gü are promoting Breast Cancer Care and for every special pink pack purchased 10p will go to the charity. Every little helps! However...

Review of Hot Chocolate Souffle-Gu

GU Wants To Be A Millionaire? I Do!

Advantages: Delicious flapjack treat
Disadvantages: Pricey and high in calories.

...Review of GU Naughties Millionaire's Flapjack The Product What is it? A black plastic, circular pot containing 16 pieces of chocolate coated caramel flapjack. Packaging A classy looking black plastic bucket type container with a photograph of three pieces of the flapjack. Nutritional values, allergy advice and ingredients are listed on the side of the container. The container is sealed with a peel away plastic strip around the lid and then the actual product is sealed for freshness with foil inner lid. My one criticism about the packaging is that I can see no mention of whether it is recyclable on the label, which, perhaps wrongly, leads me to believe that it is not! Taste, Texture and Aroma The flapjack is one of the nicest I have ever tasted, rich and sweet in flavour, oaty, with a lovely chewy texture...

Samsung NC10 Netbook

Advantages: Lots of connectivity - Big keyboard - excellent screen - Good spec
Disadvantages: bad sleeve to store netbook - battery life not that long - small touchpad

...I managed to pick up this netbook for £299 which is oustanding value - from play.com. The netbook is very light and can fit almost anywhere - it is very easy to carry around - you can set up anywhere and very easily connect to the internet where available. The netbook looks very stylish and everything is laid out well. The keyboard is the biggest i have ever seen on a netbook - its almost full size which is a bonus as I have a lot of typing to do. One disadvantage of this is that the mousepad has been made very small which is a nuisance - you do get used to it but it is not ideal. The specs for this netbook are impressive I mean a massive 160GB hard drive, a 10.2 inch screen. 1 GB of RAM and a 1.6GHZ intel atom processor. This spec allows the netbook to operate very fastly - the whole 6 months I have had this netbook - it has...

Review of Samsung NC10

Samsung NC10 Review

Advantages: Good battery life, nice screen, near enough a full size keyboard
Disadvantages: small-ish trackpad

...I recieved this netbook for christmas and all i can say is 'wow'! My background with computers is vast having built many and installed multiple operating systems on each, however i have never owned a laptop. Therefore i was a little dubious about some of the things such as keyboard size, processing power and battery life. I was looking for a laptop which is very small in physical size while packing a punch so it could still carry out multiple tasks. Buying a full size (15.4") laptop seemed a bit pointlesss as i have two tower pc's which are my main machines, so this was just to be about casual surfing/ reading emails/ browsing while on the move. The Samsung NC10 is in my view one of the very best netbooks out there, the keyboard is just shy of being full size so no cramped typing (this review was written on it) Combine this...

Review of Samsung NC10

Samsung NC10 Black netbook a lightweight and excellent netbook

Advantages: Great screen, excellent battery life,
Disadvantages: Poor speakers, personal headphones or additional speakers definitely help

...I bought my NC10 to replace my laptop which was just too heavy to be carrying to and from work everyday. I purchased my NC10 on a promotion weekend from a high street store beating online prices significantly. I was trying to avoid big bulky items to carry as I was on crutches at the time. Not recommended but straight out of box into my rucksack in the shop from which it was purchased. Didn't notice much weight difference in my bag at all. The Samsung NC10 has served me dilligently now being used more and more instead of my normal laptop as battery life is excellent. I use the NC10 round the house for coursework, work and even during my work lunch. The screen is bright and very easy to read, I primarily use the NC10 at home for surfing the net to shop and for music in the background. I have an extensive playlist on Spotify...

Review of Samsung NC10

gu mini puds.. little puds of heaven!!

Advantages: very chocolaty and the best pudding i think i`ve ever had!!
Disadvantages: can get a bit sickly if you get greedy and have more than you should!!

...GU mini puds are my absolute favourite pudding. They can be purhased in most supermarkets and although they seem a bit pricey at £1.89, although the price does vary in different shops, they are what i`d like to call little pots of heaven!! The box is black and very eye catching and inside there is a tray of 3 50g black pots with a lid that peels back. The box says 3 cheeky + saucy little pots au chocolat. They are double chocolate truffle made with 53% cocoa chocolate. Admitedly they can be a bit sickly especially if you are like me and get greedy and sit and eat all 3 in one go but they are definately one for those of us with a sweet tooth! The taste is very chocolatey, I know that may sound silly but these really taste like no chocolate I`ve ever tried! The ingredients are Whipping cream, chocolate (29...

Review of GÜ Chocolate Puds

They Gu on me

Advantages: Great taste of the chocoate truffle
Disadvantages: Cost and biscuit base

...Being a sucker for cheesecake and any money off details and having the will power of a BB contestant faced with a camera I got sucked into buying some GU cheesecakes while shopping in Tesco the other day. Currently they have an offer on which involves buying two for £4 which would appear to be a £1 saving on the normal price in the shop of £2.50 each. Packaging Normally I'm not too bothered about the packaging as long as it protects the product after all it will end up in either the recycle bin or the dustbin but with this product it does need a mention. In each box you get two cheesecakes and each one is contained in a small glass jar with a plastic lid. From an aesthetic viewpoint this is a nice touch and indeed means you could probably get away with serving them at a diner party straight from the box but I cannot help but feel...

Review of GÜ Choc & Vanilla Cheesecakes

Oh, my Gu!!

Advantages: they make more than one type of pud apparently
Disadvantages: are there any??

...assured that this is the fantastic when poured over icecream) or why not add the molten contents to hot milk to make the perfect hot chocolate. The ingredients are made up of cream and 40% chocolate (which contains 53%cocoa). No wonder they taste like heaven. Each pot contains 50g of truffle which equates to 219 kcal, 1.6g protein, 12.0g carbs, 18g of fat, 1.0g fibre, 0.1g sodium. Forget the diet then.. As I did not buy these I really haven't a clue as to how much they cost, but can you put a price on heaven? Details about Gu cn be found at www.gupuds.com or by calling 0800 695 1660 I just hope that tomrrow I will be introduced to another pot in the range!...

Review of GÜ Chocolate Puds

Delonghi DEM 10

Advantages: Efficient
Disadvantages: None

...Our large, four bedroom house is over 200 years old and therefore has no cavity walls to insulate. After a cold and damp 2008 summer we were suffering from condensation and mould problems in spite of extractor fans in both kitchen and bathroom. Time to dehumidify! We bought our DEM 10 at Curry's for £99.99. It is compact, easily moved with a fold-out top carry handle and absolutely idiot proof in use. The level of humidity that the unit will pull down to can be controlled via a knob on top of the housing and there is a full tank warning light. The water tank is transparent so that the water level can be seen at a glance and the tank is so easy to remove for emptying - and, more importantly, to replace. Try some of the competition! A length of polythene hose is supplied to enable continuous draining should you want to leave the unit...

Review of Delonghi DEM 10

How gu they do it?!

Advantages: rich and chocolaty
Disadvantages: none!!!!

...Gu; A cosy chocolate pud for two Gu have many products in their chocolate pudding range from soufflé to cheesecake and I'm sure something to satisfy everyone's taste! I have tried (and will now hopefully be trying more of their products) the Gu Cosy Puds; A Cosy Chocolate Pud For Two and wow was it cosy! The product was purchased from Waitrose for £1.99 which is very reasonable for the quality of product you're getting. The packaging is a card and plastic: the cake and sauce are inside a clear plastic tray which slides inside a card box coloured mostly in very dark brown and a beautiful picture of a serving suggestion. The size of the box is about 15cm by 12 cm and a very generous portion even for two people! The weight is 240g. The pudding is described as 'a gu-fully moist double chocolate sponge smothered in smooth...
